Brilio.net - Fatty foods such as nuts, coconut milk, or oil are often used in various recipes to add flavor and texture. However, behind its deliciousness, fatty foods often leave problems for kitchen equipment, especially blenders. When used to process fatty ingredients, blenders are often difficult to clean because of the fat that sticks to the walls and blades. This remaining fat can leave a slippery layer that is difficult to remove with just plain water.
The main challenge in cleaning a blender from grease stains is the nature of grease that tends to stick strongly to plastic or glass surfaces. If not cleaned properly, this oily layer can cause an unpleasant odor and affect the taste in subsequent use. In addition, accumulated grease can also accelerate bacterial growth, making the blender less hygienic for reuse.
To overcome this problem, a more effective cleaning technique is needed, such as using warm water with a dishwashing liquid that can dissolve fat. Some people also choose to use a mixture of warm water and lemon juice or vinegar to help remove the oily layer naturally. In fact, there is a more practical way to remove the remaining fat in the blender to make it more abrasive.
An Instagram user @melizah21 once revealed it further through one of the videos she uploaded. She admitted to only using simple ingredients to remove the remaining fat in the blender. But not only that, she also chose to rely on one type of kitchen waste when washing the blender.

Once done, close the blender and shake it for a few minutes. Now, with the plastic bag and the cleaning ingredients, the fat that sticks to the blender wall will be easier to dissolve. Therefore, the fat will immediately mix with the water when shaken.

At this stage, you can immediately throw away the dirty water. Then wash the blender as usual using a sponge and dish soap to make it more dry. If it is like this, the blender can be dried first before it is ready to be used again to smooth various types of food ingredients.
